Subtle ways to add gold to your home décor

Gold is the new black! US President Donald Trump has swapped the crimson curtains inside the Oval Office for bright gold coloured ones. But just because it’s gold, it doesn’t have to be expensive. Here are some ways to let that touch of gold instantly add sophistication to your home:

Let your furniture shine on Give your living room an instant facelift with gold-coloured accent furniture. Drape your sofa set with gold-printed fabric or let that gold-coloured coffee table be the centre of attention.

Go quirky with walls Break all the rules and go quirky with the walls. Paint gold stripes or simply dab polka dots along it to give it that touch of gold. If you don’t want to mess with the colour, you can opt to hang gold-rimmed frames on the wall.

Shimmer with lightA chandelier will be an apt accent for your kitchen or dining room. Opt for one that is light on the metal and has more of glass with gold-coloured arms to - infuse your home with shine.

Calm and elegance Play with white and gold to give your bedroom that sense of calm and elegance all at once. A simple white bedroom with tiny accents of gold can surely light up the room.
